Turkey + Veggie Skillet

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsps avocado oil or olive oil divided
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves of fresh garlic minced
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey chicken, or beef
  • sea salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 2 medium zucchini diced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tsps dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 x 14.5 oz can fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup Colby jack or cheddar cheese shredded, divided
  • cilantro & limes wedges as garnish

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet, over medium heat. Add in your onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
  • Stir in the ground turkey and cook, mincing the meat with a wooden spoon. Once the meat is nicely golden brown, set cooked meat aside on a plate.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil on medium-high heat. Add the zucchini along with the broccoli florets and cook until tender-crisp, for 4 minutes.
  • Return your cooked ground meat back into the skillet then stir in the tomatoes, seasonings, and half of the shredded cheese. Reduce heat to a medium, and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly reduced.
  • Sprinkle top with remaining cheese, and allow it to melt for a few minutes more. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
  • Enjoy!
